2014 Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert with Daniel Barenboim — Johann Strauss I, Radetzky March, Op. 228

I love that, like. He KNOWS the audience want to clap and so he's using them as an extra instrument. He turns around and goes hey, stop, and hopes they understand conductor gestures and it works, and then he has clapping he can use when he wants
tbh i would be waaaay more into classical music if this kind of audience participation was a normal thing to do for many of the songs
He knows they want to clap, because it happens every year. This is a yearly concert where this particular piece features prominently towards the end. The audience always joins in.
You are practically obliged to clap during the Radetzky March.
Clapping at home in bed.
